The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has created a new guidance document entitled the "Remediation Closure Guide" (RCG) which will replace the current Risk Integrated System of Closure (RISC) Technical Guide. It is very important for the regulated community, attorneys, and other parties involved in assessment/remediation of impacted sites in Indiana to become familiar with the new RCG and its companion guide, the Remediation Program Guide (which provides program-specific guidance). In particular, it is important to understand the differences between the new guidance and previous guidance, and how the new guidance can be used to develop cost-effective, risk-based closure strategies that focus on eliminating complete exposure pathways and reduce the scope of remedial efforts.
